    At least I am not seeing the animated, rotting banana any more. I was getting tired of that one.

    Mine was "You Need a Budget" software. Probably from all the Dave Ramsey items I look up.

    I actually went to McDonald's last night and was only 6 calories over my MFP calories goal. Even if it was a McDonald's ad to my right it is still my responsibility with what I put into my body. If people can't overcome an ad with their weight loss goals, they are going to be in for a struggle.

    I have an ad for custom sewing labels. Must be because I look at quilting blogs. At least it's not the old, wrinkly dancing woman with belly flab. Ugghhhhhhh...... That one makes me want to SCREAM!

    IIFYM

    I see you post this a lot. I love it. It helps to remind me that there are things that are worth the effort of fitting them into my macros and there are things that aren't. Apparently McDonald's isn't for me.

    I do appreciate the IIFYM philosophy. And honestly, it really helps knowing that it's okay to have some flexibility in what you are eating, as long as you keep your calories and other macros in check. HOWEVER...I think there is some danger. I fear that people will think "Okay, I'm going to eat all the junk and fast food I love as long as I stay in my macros...and I'll be healthy!" Sure, you might lose weight. But I think people need to be aware that processed foods and fast foods, if eaten CONSISTENLY, will make you a very unhealthy person in the long run. Even if they do fit your macros.

    Mine says Purina dog food and I don't have a dog. What's up with that?

    I see an ad for t-shirts with a big dog's face on it from a company called The Mountain, which sounds odd, but which actually makes sense as I bought a couple of those shirts from their website.

    I get all kinds of ads pop up that I think, "really? you are so desperate for sponsors that you allowed these *kitten* to advertise on MFP?"

    Exactly. That's all I was saying. I'm not online searching for food contrary to what some of you boneheads like to assume.

    Like others have said, your ads reflect what you have been doing online. The world has moved on to individualized marketing.

    So it's not about MFP, it's about you.

    My ads are for AARP health insurance and 5 veggies that kill stomach fat. Ha!

    Wrong.

    LOL, apparently your ads are a reflection of your cookies and search history, so what have you been Googling, huh? :wink:

    Yup, the ads have some kind of relation to your searches lol.

    Just ignore it, they need ads to pay for this service you are getting for FREE.

    this is not 100% accurate. I have vitamins ads popping up and ive never searched for vitamins online. I also have the MCD ad popping up and i've sure as heck not been googling that place!
    Now ive got some ad popping up about home owners and that's nothing i've searched online either. I am at work, very restricted here and i'm shocked i can log into MFP!
